    I like when you said it up front, made me want to watch the whole video and to listen to your arguments rather than skipping back and forth. the way you present was also captivating for more than 10 minutes, even without many b-rolls. great video.

    You're very personable and easy to listen to. The PC noises freaked me out as I thought it was my computer, lol. Check out the Xreal Air (original) glasses - perfect edge to edge sharpness. I plug them into my Ayaneo slide and use them for EVERYTHING. Will order the G1 thanks to this video.

    I was on the fence of getting this as I was afraid of getting buyer's remorse and this device isn't exactly cheap where I'm from. You just convinced me to get it. I always preferred playing games on handheld even if I'm permanently connected to the socket. Great video man!

    Really enjoyed your review. Talking without a script and without cutting in one take is really difficult, and I think you have a really nice balance of things to say without rambling (somthing i struggle with). The Windows notifications did distract a little, but once you solve then your videos will flow real nicely. I think you've got a natural talent to this so keep going if life allows you too.

    Thanks for watching. I think you will find that th G1 works very well with the legion go. if I were you I would definitely consider it. The GPU in the OneX is the same, however the OneX has additional storage options inside the GPU casing. That is a nice addition if you would like to add and extra TB of storage. The only way I would consider the 4070 TI was if you have your heart set on gaming at 1440p. If 1080p is acceptable for you, I would lean towards the OneX or G1. I like the G1 most because it is so professional looking. I love that I can bring it to work and it blends in with everything on my desk.

This devices is more for the here and now Also to use with your back log of games and run them at a high settings at 1080p. If you are looking to run newer games over the next few years, I would look to get at least the 4070ti that you mentioned. I hope that's helpful.

    I think the onex gpu would be best for you. The power briick is bigger than the older g1, which makes it less portable. You also have the option to add more storage to the dock. Also, I've heard nothing but good things about it. I love the g1 but since you cant get the newer model, and you dont plan to travel much with it, buy the onex egpu.​@@morrisjanjavier394

    I personally have the One Dock with an RTX 4060 LP which I'm planning on using with my win mini once it arrives. I just like how it's upgradeable unlike the G1. Weird that the Win Mini gets hot while plugged into an eGPU. I've been using my Win Max 2 with my One Dock and the Win Max 2 barely uses any power, the RTX 4060 does all the heavy lifting. I'm hoping it doesn't get hot with the One Dock setup

  • @Slyclientthetechdad

    I think it still gets hot because it utilizes AMD's Smart Technology. One of thr functions is that it uses bith the G1 and the 780m internal graphics. The previous version had a way to shut this off in the bios so it would only use the G1. I havent gone into the bios to check but with that said, there could be a way to disable this function. If you dont mind me asking where did you get the One Dock? Im looking for an external GPU set up as well. I just refuse to buy anything from Super Buy. It makes me nervous.

I was initially thinking of making one a desktop only eGPU with a beefier graphics card and having another for travel with a smaller low profile graphics card but ever since I upgraded to GPD's 7840U devices, I feel like it's enough for gaming on the go and don't really need the extra performance boost the One Dock would provide.

    ​@@Slyclientthetechdad It should work but you might get bottlenecked by the CPU. I think the Phawx is running a 4090 with his setup and if I recall correctly, reported about a 10% performance loss over oculink compared to a desktop setup (not 100% sure but if I find the video, I will send it). Btw, the One Dock doesn't come with a power supply so you will have to find one that provides ample enough power to the One Dock and your graphics card (rule of thumb is your graphics card's TDP + 100W) I will shoot you an email to discuss this further.

    @@Slyclientthetechdad the Phawx's video of the One Dock was actually a 3090, not a 4090. 4090 might be overkill for the One Dock so I would suggest looking elsewhere for an eGPU setup. One Dock is better suited for low profile cards imo but people are running full sized graphics cards on theirs, it just doesn't look as elegant imo.

    You should have no problem with the G1. It has worked amazingly well for me. At 100 watts the fans get loud but it doesn't bother me. I run mine for hours at a time, and it has never shut down. I use both oculink and usb4 depending on the situation.

    An RTX 3080 performs better. I know for sure because I owned a 3080 for 2 years and just recently sold it. If you don't mind a full sized graphics card and don't care about portability, the 3080 is the way to go. The advantage of the G1 is that you can throw it in a backpack and take it anywhere you want. The G1 doesn't perform as well, but the portability of the device is amazing. I hope this helps

    @joethelocator1161 I think that is a very fair comparison. Very similar. I hate to say it but I would always lean towards Nvidia rtx though. One of the things that I wish I mentioned in the video is the AMD Adrenaline driver software. I'm just not a fan of it. If you're interested in the something in the category of these cards you are talking about, you may want to consider the RTX 4060Ti. Your will get comparable performance but better Ray Tracing support. It's cheaper than the G1 too.
